Semester Reflection

This semester i have learned so much! First i learned how to use Illustrator which was really fun because i learned how to make really interesting things out of different shapes and other stuff. I also learned how to blend and make new colors and different color schemes. I learned how people make ads and now when i look at different ads i know how they did it or what techniques they use which is really cool. Next we learned how to use photoshop which at first seemed really really hard but then i got the hang of it. I was so happy that i learned how to use photoshop because i always see my sister using it and its so cool. I learned how to Make collages and do a bunch of different stuff. Through doing my assignments and Mrs. Dayton's help i learned what looks good in pictures, what colors go together and things like that. There aren't really any techniques or projects that i want todo because i'm new to all these programs so i wouldn't know any i would want to learn. I really like the way this class works and what we do, doing assignments is my favorite thing because we just get to focus and really think about it so all i can say is more assignments but other than that i love this class and cant wait till next semester!!

Review Week 17

I have learned that........

There are many different types of serifs and they are on many different types of fonts. The serif is the curly (not always curly) little bit at the end of the letter. A serfif isnt exactly important but its good to know what it is because it can help you pick out different kinds of fonts to use.
